Of all the policies you could go after the Green’s on, decriminalising drug use seems to be the weakest yet the one the other parties seem to love by default?

Maybe this is the reason:

 

Now loony Greens call for free-for-all on prostitution and porn as by-election nears | Daily Mail Online

And yet, the kind of politicians the Fail backs almost always seem to be the ones in other papers because they've been caught up in a scandal involving one or both of those two areas of business.

 

The hypocrisy is hilarious.

The Greens are going to win it with a decent margin I reckon.  They've been odds on to win it for a while now.  The strange alliance between the left-wing student and muslim vote will deliver it for them. Electoral Calculus have the Greens winning the seat in a General Election also.  

 

Losing these 2 demographics would be an absolute catastrophe for Labour though.  If this pattern was repeated nationwide, it means losing the vast majority of London, Birmingham, Manchester and even parts of Liverpool to the Greens.  Effectively Labours only real "safe" seats.

 

I expect Reform to do better than the 14% of the vote they got in 2024 but everything would need to go right to win a seat that has pulled strongly left for nearly a century.  

 

If Labour do lose, can Starmer hang on to the local elections in May?

I think it’s a tad easier for Starmer if he loses it to the Greens than Reform. A Reform win would be a disaster for a lot of reasons, mainly as that eugenicist Nazi clown Goodwin would have a seat in parliament.

Have to feel bad for Sir Oink A-Lot there 

Nowhere near as close as the press were suggesting. A couple of Westminster journalists have tweeted they were out and about and despite the noise, it was the Green’s focus on local/economic issues that convinced people to come out and vote. We will sadly hear a lot of “our country is gone” today and some horrible stuff. But ultimately a white female plumber from Manchester has become an MP representing a progressive party. I like it.

That's superb for the Greens, devastating for Reform and even more devastating for Labour. 

 

Good start to the day nonetheless.

I don't know if it is that devastating for Labour. Is anyone ever truly surprised when stting governments lose by-elections? Hopefully they'll look back on it as the wake-up call they needed, rather than the one they expected.

 

Time to stop dancing to Reform's tune, ignore the media's obsession with that gobshite conman Farage, and start focusing on delivering for people who need help, using that fvcking massive majority you have.

Trump administration meets with UK far-right activist Tommy Robinson | Tommy Robinson | The Guardian

At this point, I would be most interested in hearing from any contributors to the US Election thread back in 2024 who said that people were "overreacting" and Trump "wouldn't be that bad", and see if they feel the same way after all that's happened so far.
